The History Of Pop Part 11 aka In my imagination there is no hesitation

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

If you're like me then you'll be feeling a bit fatigued by your first day back at work. What better way to de-cobweb than with a NOW poll from the first half of 1988: The Year Pop Changed (Again). An intriguing Now, this - a disc and a half of classics rubbing shoulders with barrel scrapings, and then suddenly BANG ZOOM Now goes DANCE CRAZY. Beats! Samples! Sudden eruptions of Slade-style spelling! The best house pun title ever! Spare a thought for Climie Fisher, the victim of sequencing circumstance. Also GOTH ALERT, let's see how the Mish do on this one.

Now 10 saw M/A/R/R/S and "Pump Up The Volume" winning near-universal acclaim, and Europe's "The Final Countdown" wrestle through from the mire of Now 9. Now it's time to once again take up the burden of democracy:

David van Day and Thereza Bazar - "fluffy" peroxide electro pop singing duo, had several hits at the beginning of the 80s produced by Trevor Horn. "Oh L'amour" was a sort of comeback effort IIRC.

They were in a film with Clint Eastwood.

I don't remember Blurillaz doing a proper film.
